China News Service, Hong Kong, January 26 (Reporter Zeng Ping) Tung Chee-hwa, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the first chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said on the 26th that as the world's two largest economies, China and the United States can cooperate in many areas.
US President Biden recently said that the four priorities of his work include the new crown epidemic, the economy, climate change and racial inequality.
There is no doubt that China and the United States can cooperate on at least the first three priorities.
Tung Chee-hwa made the above remarks when attending the "Hong Kong China-US Forum" that day.
He said that the world today needs not only to recover from the new crown epidemic and the economic damage it brings, but also from lies, irrationality and mistrust.
Now is the time to say goodbye to the negative things of the past few years and start working together again.
Dong Jianhua pointed out that despite the differences between China and the United States, the two countries have always maintained important cooperation in education, sports, culture, and personnel exchanges.
The most striking thing is that the two countries worked together in 2008 to reverse the global financial crisis, cooperated to deal with the Ebola epidemic in West Africa in 2013, and jointly facilitated more than 170 countries to sign the Paris Agreement on climate change in 2016. .
Dong Jianhua said that China has benefited from globalization in the past 40 years and has seized this development opportunity through reform and opening up.
As China continues to work towards the goal of "meeting the people's yearning for a better life", China will continue to reform and open up.
He emphasized that China has no hegemonic ambitions and will protect its own interests like every country, and at the same time is willing to live in peace with all countries in the world, and is committed to improving and protecting international rules.
Tung Chee-hwa believes that the distrust of the United States in China in the past few years is due to lack of understanding.
Citing a Harvard University study, he said that more than 90% of the Chinese people agree with the development direction of government leadership and are full of hope for the country's future.
